Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis: outcomes using a CT-guided surgical debridement approach.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Periorbital NF behaves differently from NF of other areas. CT-guided surgical debridement of the superficial muscle maximizes preservation of healthy tissue and facilitates reconstruction. Delayed reconstruction allows fibrosis to settle and good cosmetic and functional results are possible. However, NF remains potentially lethal and close observation and a flexible management plan are required.

CONCLUSIONS: Reasonably good postoperative visual acuity was achieved in the bilateral cataracts group, but relatively poor acuity in the unilateral cataract group. Poor stereopsis was recorded in both groups. One child developed glaucoma. None of the children developed retinal detachment. The expected myopic shift in the unilateral group compared with the bilateral group was demonstrated.

CONCLUSIONS: OCT showed good sensitivity in detecting active CNV. Specificity was only moderate. Central foveal thickness correlated negatively with visual acuity. Owing to different aspects of active CNV shown by FA and OCT, OCT should be combined with other examinations, and may not substitute FA for indication/reindication of PDT but can be a valuable addition in difficult cases.
